What Percent of your Income Goes to Taxes?

Fifty-seven percent (57%) say no American should have to pay more than 25% of their total income for taxes. That view is shared by 68% of Republicans, 50% of Democrats and 54% of those not affiliated with either party. Overall, just 23% oppose such a cap.

Support for the tax cap is higher among lower-income Americans than among those who earn more. Just 47% of those in the $100,000 plus range favor the cap, along with 64% of those who earn less than $20,000 a year.

However, that data may suggest that Americans significantly underestimate how much they currently pay in taxes. The average taxpayer has paid more than 25% of their income in taxes for decades. Imposing a limit so that nobody paid more than 25% of their income in taxes would lead to massive tax cuts across the nation. - Rasmussen Story

57% Feel that no American should pay more than 25% of their Income in Taxes. That is more than support Obama in the Same Poll. (He is at 56%)

That just totally blows me away. If they truly feel that way how did Obama Win? How did he win so big? A Majority already pay more than that in taxes and if the Democrats and Obama have their way we will be paying more than that.
